Deutsche Telekom, the owner of T-Mobile, has announced through a press release that it will remove the Sidekick line, effective May 31, 2011. This comes as a surprise to clients in the US, as there are a few thousands of Sidekick users throughout the country.
Danger Incorporated will not be providing data services on Sidekick devices after May 31, but T-Mobile promises to offer an alternative plan to customers before this date. Also, T-Mobile will provide some offers for new devices to Danger Hiptop (better known as Sidekick) users, in order to make the transition as easy as possible. T-Mobile apologizes in advance for any inconvenience this may cause and is ready to help customers as much as they are able to.
Due to recent glitches in the Danger Hiptop systems that discontinued the provision of data services to Sidekick users, T-Mobile has decided to put an end to the Sidekick line and terminate their contracts with Danger, a subsidiary of Microsoft. Top management believes this termination is all for the best, because they are bound to offer nothing less than the best quality of service to their customers and anything less is unacceptable and considered a loss to the company.
Usually, when such a decision is made, the company has a backup plan that will ensure the loss is minimal. T-Mobile has advertised this change as being for the best and has introduced new prepaid and postpaid packages in order to compensate for those offers that they are forced to remove.
